I think I posted this in the wrong place at first...

I'm not really too swift with Excel, so bear with me, but what I'm trying to
do is something like:

if A1 is one through five than B1 displays 7
if A1 is six through 10 than B1 displays 8
if A1 is 11 through 13 than B1 displays 10
if A1 is 14 through 17 than B1 displays 12
if A1 is 18 through 20 than B1 displays 15
if A1 is 21 than B1 displays 16
if A1 is 22 than B1 displays 17
if A1 is 23 than B1 displays 18
etc

Can anyone help me or tell me what this operation is called? Or share a
formula that I can copy and paste. I think I accidentally posted this on the
Access boards :( And they were very helpful, but nothing worked.. hehe

Thanks

One way:

=LOOKUP(A1,{1,6,11,14,18,21,22,23},
{7,8,10,12,15,16,17,18})

Although I'd recommend building a table and using
VLOOKUP. It'll be easier to add values rather than
extending the big formula above. For more info, check out:

Put this in B1...........

=IF(AND(A1=1,A1<=5),7,IF(AND(A1=6,A1<=10),8,IF(A ND(A1=11,A1<=13),10,IF(AN
D(A1=14,A1<=17),12,IF(AND(A1=18,A1<=20),15,IF(A1 20,A1-5)))))

Try this in B1:

=IF(A1<1,"",IF(A1=21,A1-5,IF(A1=18,15,IF(A1=14,12,IF(A1=11,10,IF(A1=6, 8
,7))))))
